PRB: Using Linked URBs in a WDM Driver Causes Page-Faults
This article was previously published under Q190527
The USB Request Block (URB) structure, which a WDM driver uses to submit a
request to a USB device, defines an "UrbLink" element that is intended to
allow the driver to submit a linked list of URBs to the WDM USB driver
stack. When you use this field with the WDM USB driver stacks shipped in
Windows 98, Windows 95 OSR 2.1, and Windows 95 OSR 2.5, a system failure
such as page-fault to typically occurs.
The WDM USB driver stacks shipped in Windows 98, Windows 95 OSR 2.1, and
Windows 95 OSR 2.5 do not provide any support for linked URBs.
A WDM driver must never submit linked URBs to the WDM USB driver stack when
running under Windows 98, Windows 95 OSR 2.1, or Windows 95 OSR 2.5. The
UrbLink element of the URB must always be NULL.
This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
